Hello, I’m Alex!

I’ve been a chiropractor since 2007 when I graduated from the McTimoney College of Chiropractic in Oxford following a five year degree in Chiropractic.

Alexandra Hurley BSc(Hons) Chiro DC MMCA GCC Registered Chiropractor

Alexandra is the Chiropractor and practice owner at The Cotswold Chiropractor. She became interested in Chiropractic during her first career with horses, when several of Alex’s equines had amazing results from Chiropractic care. Alex experienced her first adjustments soon after and fell in love with Chiropractic immediately, experiencing better balance, a resolution of lifelong headaches, increased flexibility and improved recovery from any injuries.

Alex leads her team with a vitalistic, non-pain-based approach to healthcare, that produces consistent results for those they serve. Patients at The Cotswold Chiropractor are educated that the state of being pain-free is not necessarily an indicator of optimal health. Many other factors come into play, including:

Physical and structural integrity – being free of spinal imbalance paired with healthy nerve conduction.

Emotional and mental balance – freedom from anxiety and excessive feelings of stress and fear. High levels of mindfulness, optimism and wise lifestyle choices.

Nutritional excellence – a well-balanced and healthy diet, freedom from toxicity.

Alex aims to help people figure out the root cause of their problems. She finds it particularly rewarding to assist men and women ages 30-65 in overcoming chronic back pain. Pain that’s unrelenting can seriously impact the amount of joy in one’s life-and Alex wants a more empowering outcome for those she serves. She’s got a strong belief in the power of the Chiropractic adjustment and is dedicated and devoted when it comes to helping others.

Alex is an experienced Chiropractor, and she has learned over years of practice, and helping thousands of patients, that healing takes time; there are no shortcuts to achieving optimal health. She knows that lifestyle factors are important, and that dysfunction stems from many sources: physical, chemical and emotional. Alex’s goal for every patient is for them to thrive, to experience excellent results and achieve long-term change and be able to do the things they love to do! She will guide you through every step of your healing journey.

When Alex isn’t adjusting patients, training her team or running the practice you’ll likely find her out and about in the countryside with her gorgeous black Labrador Olaf!

Testimonials

Alex and her staff are lovely and always feel so much better after each visit. Had recurring neck and upper back pain and nothing I did seemed to work to fix it. First consultation was brilliant, very thorough and with everything explained clearly. The treatment plan has been brilliant the various exercise that compliment your plan in between sessions make such a difference if you stick to them. Rarely having the same issues I used to have, feel a lot more confident in my posture and movement, overall excellent experience!

This has come up in my husbands name but I would like to thank Alex for the wonderful treatment I have had over the years mainly due to bad sleeping positions and the odd horse riding accident. Although I attended the clinic for a ligament problem I can't recommend enough the regular continued maintenance visit. I am always amazed how a body can need the slightest adjustment and Alex spots these things before they become an issue.

Ron F

Alex has really helped over the years with various issues I’ve had. Ranging from shoulder and back pain I’d got since the birth of my son and running injuries of the knee and hip. Alex is great at quick fixes but also longer term “maintenance” so issues don’t reoccur.

Lindsey W

Alex is fantastic. I can't believe what a difference I can feel after a treatment! Not only that she's so lovely (and patient). She's the fourth emergency service for me

Jo W

Alex has helped my lower back pain massively, I wouldn't know where I would be without her! She's got me out of pain but more than that has educated me on how my body moves so I don't get back to where I was at the beginning. And she is just such a friendly and giving person, I am so pleased I chose to start my chiropractic journey with her 🙂

Charlotte T

Alex and Charlotte are professional and always go that extra mile, even in lockdown I had video appointments with Alex to get me moving again! Have been seeing Alex for over 10 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Highly recommended
